*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*
A very atmospheric image that has appeal
The light is what makes this image, the way it is highlighting the steam from the tea against the darker background makes it very atmospheric. The deep rich red of the tea makes it pop out from the rest of the image clearly identifying it as the focal point. I have to disagree with your commenter, it looks sharp where it matters most, the shallow DOF may have left the rim in soft focus but that doesn't matter at all.
It is nicely composed with the tea on the third with an interesting foreground of the rod and rest. Perhaps the only thing that mars it is the brightness of the OOF background, I think some dodging to subdue it would be of great benefit overall. The image works because it conveys a peaceful feeling of the patient wait for the catch savouring your surroundings with a nice cuppa.
Its a shame it didn't score better but thanks anyway, Sid |

| ...the warmth of both the light and tea make me smile, and wish I could have a taste. |

| Can't see very the image is in focus here. If the glass were in focus, it would've looked great. It isn't very sharp. |
